๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Most recently, the #ParAqua #COSTAction consortium added to their #openscience project collection their poster presenting the ParAqua database, the first structured initiative aimed at centralising & harmonising data on #zoosporic #parasites of #algae by integrating in situ observations, genetic data from NCBI, and literature sources.

๐Ÿ”— Poster: https://doi.org/10.3897/arphapreprints.e157676

๐Ÿ”— Collection: https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.coll.192

๐Ÿ†• The abstracts booklet from the #ParAqua #COSTAction conference held last April was added to the project's dedicated #openscience outcomes collection.

๐Ÿ‘‡ Thanks to our intergration with #ARPHA #Preprints, the collection shares the original PDF file.

ParAqua Scientific Outcomes and Dissemination Products

This collection hosts outcomes and products from the COST Action CA20125 ParAqua "Applications for zoosporic parasites in aquatic ecosystems". The Action is funded by the EU (2021-2024) and aims to organise and coordinate an innovative and dynamic European network connecting academia, industry and water management authorities to advance and apply knowledge and expertise on zoosporic parasites (i.e. aquatic fungi and fungi-like microorganisms) and the relation with their hosts in natural and industrial systems. Zoosporic parasites cause severe host mortality, the economic impacts of parasitic diseases are notable in microalgae biotech industry, affecting production of food ingredients, biofuels, pharma- and nutraceuticals. But zoosporic parasites also constitute important drivers of natural populations, potentially influencing aquatic food webs and community dynamics, including maintaining and promoting diversity. Main aim and objective of the Action is to organise and coordinate an innovative and dynamic Network connecting academia, industries and water management authorities to advance and apply knowledge and expertise on zoosporic parasites and the relation with their hosts in natural ecosystems and industrial algal biotech production. The collection includes a range of different outputs and products, including the Grant Proposal (MoU), the Data Management Plan, the Action dissemination products, reports, protocols, methodologies, and research papers.
